[en]So, we’re almost a week into 2011, and everything still seems to be ticking over. I had a rather lovely time touring the Emirates on a cruise ship over the Christmas/New Year break. Dubai and Abu Dhabi rather strike me as being what a Disney country would look like. Everything looks perfect and done on a ludicrous scale.

“We have all this money… what should we do with it? I know, let’s build islands in the sea in the shape of the World!”

In anycase, I’ll be uploading the photos to Flickr in due course (once I’ve had a chance to remove all the rubbish ones).

Back though in reality, there’s the 2nd ‘Hacio’r Iaith‘ Barcamp conference at the end of this month (29th January). There’ll be interesting sessions, much discussion, curry, and a live recording of the Haciaith Podcast to watch. If you’re interested in attending ‘Hacio’r Iaith’, follow the link to the Lanyrd page.
